Who We Are...
The Scottish Forestry Trust is the leading Charitable Trust providing funds for research, education and training in support of UK Forestry.
Established in 1983 by a gifting of share capital, the Trust is a registered charity (Scottish Charity No. SCO08465) and has a remit to provide private sector funds to support research and education throughout the UK forestry industry. Since 1983, we have provided in excess of £1.7m in support of over 100 projects ranging from supporting post graduate education through to contributing towards industry applied research and assisting policy formulation.
What We Do...
The Scottish Forestry Trust supports the future development of UK Forestry by providing grant funding for education, research and training. With assistance from the Forestry Commission, our new Bursary Scheme will help to fund post graduate and masters degrees tackling many of the key issues affecting the future of forestry in this country.
Our Annual Report gives a flavour of the projects and initiatives we support and the latest report can be viewed here.
Help us to do more...
Whilst our support funds are mainly drawn from the careful investment of our original share capital from 1983, we would always seek to do more. You can help the work of the Scottish Forestry Trust by making a donation to us at any time. Details of how to do so are available here.
